R. J. Rumell spent his career researching mass murder by government, particularly in the 20th century. Here are the top three mass murderers of that blood-stained century and his estimate for the number of victims of each (this is NOT war dead; just people lined up and shot, burned to death, buried alive, etc).
II 128,168,000 VICTIMS: THE DEKA-MEGAMURDERERS
61,911,000 Murdered: The Soviet Gulag State
35,236,000 Murdered: The Communist Chinese Ant Hill
20,946,000 Murdered: The Nazi Genocide State
Yes: the Holocaust was real. Jews were only one of the groups in the victim class.
Just as a character witness, I can vouch for Rummel (correct spelling). Once upon a time we worked together on a book project for the Reason Foundation. He was straight-up, honest, and meticulous. As a libertarian, he was highly critical of government-sponsored genocide. He is all about "receipts."
